‘Voyageur’ – the highly anticipated, narrative rich ten-song LP – is Kathleen’s first in four years and was co-produced with Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon. All tracks were written by Kathleen except ‘A Soft Place To Land’ and ‘Pink Champagne’, which were co-written with John Roderick and ‘Sidecar’, which was co-written with Jim Bryson.
The album also features ‘Change the Sheets’, the flip side of limited edition 7” single ‘Wapusk’. Other highlights include upbeat opener ‘Empty Threat’ closing track ‘For The Record’ which features the instantly recognisable vocals of Norah Jones,
This new LP is the follow-up to 2008’s ‘Asking For Flowers’ – which reached No.1 in Billboard’s Top Heatseekers Chart in the US – 2005’s ‘Back To Me’ and the debut album ‘Failer’, which was released in 2003.
